Preventative Maintenance

We are often asked about reasons for maintenance. Regular, preventive maintenance of your HVAC system is a requirement of home or business ownership. Just as you would not drive your car without ever changing the oil, you should not be constantly operating your HVAC system without maintenance. HVAC maintenance is essential to the health and efficiency of your system. 

Professional HVAC companies will offer a maintenance agreement to be sure your HVAC system is as efficient as possible. A good maintenance plan includes a full inspection and service of your HVAC system. Most annual plans divide the service between two visits per year. This way, you can ensure your AC system is in optimum condition when you need it most in summer, and your heating system is in optimum condition when you need it most in winter! Both services provide a thorough cleaning and inspection, servicing the moving parts of the system that is accessible, testing the appropriate components, and making adjustments as needed.

Remember: you value your car enough to have the oil changed. You value your health enough to have checkups. Your HVAC system is perhaps one of the most valuable parts of your home. Keep your system well-maintained, and it will provide you with comfort and fewer issues for years to come.

While some parts of regular maintenance you can handle yourself, a trusted HVAC professional should inspect your system each year before spring or summer. Here are just a few of the things that a professional will do that you typically cannot do as a homeowner:

• Lubricate parts of the HVAC system
• Check for proper functioning of all parts of your HVAC system
• Identify potential issues before they are apparent in functioning of the system
• Test amperage of compressor unit
• Verify all electrical connections are sound
• Safety test controls
• Much more!
